‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ Season 3 Gets a Haircut and a Howard

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has kept relatively quiet since Comic-Con 2015, but with production on Season 3 finally in full swing, Coulson’s team is already sharpening up. Not only has a menacing new agent been added to the ranks, but so too has Skye Daisy Johnson undergone something of a trim for Season 3.

First and foremost, Deadline reports that Bates Motel alum Andrew Howard has joined Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 3 for a “major recurring role” as Banks, an authoritative and intimidating agent. Does that make him an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Real S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson’s “Caterpillars,” or Hydra, perhaps? You tell us!

Howard won’t be the only unfamiliar sight among the cast however, as series star Chloe Bennet recently debuted some shorter locks to help cement her character’s transition from Skye to Daisy Johnson, albeit with a less extreme cut.
